Harry Potter: The Next Generation

Valentines Day Part 2

**previously on HP:TNG**

I arrived at the Black Lake to find myself standing next to a picnic blanket and basket. Then I noticed a floating note that said, 'Dear Gelina, I have had my eye on you since the first day of school. You're beautiful and kind and that is what I like about you. To find out who I am, look up.' I looked up to find myself looking at...

**now**

I looked up and found myself looking at none other than Austin Forester flying around on his broomstick. Then he landed in front of me. I was speechless.

"Austin, you're the one that sent me the flowers?"

"Yes. I did. I wanted you to come here so we could have a picnic and to get to know each other."

"Like a date?"

"Yeah. Kind of like a date." I blushed for a second then he asked, "do you want to sit down?"

"Sure." I said nervously.

We sat and talked for what seemed to be a couple hours but really it was about dinner time when we finished our 'date'. Talking about Quidditch, our families, school, hobbies, etc... I found out that Austin and I have a lot in common.

It was starting to get dark so I told Austin that I had to go, because I had been gone for so long and that my brother might be worried. So I got up and started to walk back to the castle.

"Gelina, wait!"

I stopped and turned around to see that Austin was signalling me to come back, so I did(because let's face he is like the hottest and the nicest boy in school).

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, go ahead, ask me anything."

"So you know that the Valentines ball is coming up..."

"Mhm"

"So I was wondering would you, Gelina Narcissa Malfoy, give me the honor of being your date to the ball."

"I would be honored to go to the ball with you Austin."

He hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and said, "thank you for saying 'yes', you have made me the happiest guy in the world."

I nodded and headed back to the castle. Behind me I could hear Austin jumping for joy, I giggled a bit and continued walking back to find my friends, who were definitely in the Great Hall for Dinner.

**10 minutes later**

In the Great Hall I see Leah talking to Andrew Payne, a first year Hufflepuff, Cynthia was talking to Johanna White, a fifth year Ravenclaw, and Lily was talking to Blake Vincent a second year Slytherin, as I went and sat down next to Kim and Scorpius.

"So, how'd it go? Who's your secret admirer?" Kim asked with enthusiasm.

"Austin. Austin Forester." I replied blushing.

"No, way. Really? What did he say?"

"He said that he liked me since the first day of school, and he asked me to the Valentine's Ball."
